  10. What Concepts can be used to guide our teaching?

  11. Teaching a skill • Stage 1 Demonstration of skill at normal speed with little/no explanation. Stage 2 Repetition with full explanation and encouraging learner to ask questions.

  13. Why is work based learning important?

  14. Workplace teaching & learning - Limitations • Time and clinical constraints • Effect on smooth running of a business • Ability and willingness of staff whose main role is not teaching • Availability of teaching opportunities • Variability in technique • Non compliant patients

  15. Simulations • Allows learning to be in a safe & controlled environment • Lots of opportunities to practice • Standard techniques can be taught • Less time constrained • BUT • Experience NOT real • Not possible for all tasks • May result in poor application in practice

  16. Assessment – Why? • Have learning outcomes been met? • Are learners - Competent, Reliable, Safe. • Can knowledge and practical skills be used together in a problem solving context? • Important for public confidence and professional registration
